Blended learning-great article discussing pros and cons.

This is one of the best (and only) sites I've found that has a really comprehensive overview of blended learning. It's a bit text heavy, but if you can wade through it, you'll find some practical applications for your own classroom.

Research is the best way to find out if something works. This is an interesting study, which by the authors own admission, shows us there needs to be more research done in this area. The blended classroom, which offers both technology based learning and face-to-face learning appears to be get the best results.

I was curious about students' perceptions with on line learning and this article, based on my perusal, is perfect.

Great article Jeremy! I'm going to use this in some research I'm doing with data mining in blended classrooms.

Interesting article about how some teachers and professors are relying too heavily on their technology in teaching their classes.

I would argue that it's not the use of technology that is the problem. It is HOW technology is used. Powerpoints have their place - but they are not a true implementation of student-centered learning. Online, self-paced, math tutorials may be effective in some cases, but are definitely not the only way to test student knowledge. We've got to start thinking about teaching and learning differently and not simply transfer what we do in the face-to-face classroom to the online environment. Just my two cents.

Thanks for sharing this information!

This site has some tips for teaching in blended learning environments.  Some echo your articles above.  There are also resources for teachers.   (I thought we were supposed to post an article to this for the class???  Hope this is what we were supposed to do.)

It's exactly what you were supposed to do!

This isn't exactly an article, it is the standards and benchmarks from Anchorage where they are implementing Social Emotional Learning. Scroll down in the document to see some sample activities.

Make sure you view the video showcasing a 7th grader using Symbaloo to organize all of her network sites. It's inspiring!

This article deals with online learning and the special education student.
